Texas at Oklahoma: Three things to know
- The Longhorns have alternated wins and losses across the past four outings. They’re coming off an 81-67 win at Iowa State last time out, but they’re just 2-2 SU/1-3 ATS across the past four games away from home.
- The Sooners are on a three-game slide, including a home-and-home loss against the rival Oklahoma State Cowboys. Not only is Oklahoma 0-3 SU in the past three, but they also enter on an 0-4 ATS skid. They’re also 1-5 ATS across the past six after a 7-0 ATS run from Jan. 9-Feb. 1.
- These teams played a nail-biter on Jan. 26 in Austin, as the Sooners posted an 80-79 victory against the Longhorns as the Over (143.5) connected.

Texas at Oklahoma: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Texas 75, Oklahoma 73
Money line (ML)
TEXAS (+105) looks to add to the woes of Oklahoma (-125), and they will be looking to return the favor after the Sooners topped the Longhorns on Texas’ home court earlier this season. And while the ‘Horns aren’t playing great basketball lately, they’re doing a little better than the skidding Sooners.

Against the spread (ATS)
TEXAS +1.5 (-110) is the play, although betting them comes with a little risk. The Longhorns are 2-8-1 ATS across the past 11 games, and they haven’t covered in consecutive games since Dec. 1-2 in a pair of neutral-court battles against Indiana and North Carolina.
Look to the series trends to feel better about a Texas wager. The road team has cashed in each of the past six meetings, and the underdog is 15-3 ATS across the past 18 in this series.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 142.5 (-110) has been the rule lately, going 12-3 in the past 15 games for Texas, and 5-2 in the previous seven outings against teams with a winning percentage above .600. The Over also cashed in the previous meeting in Austin.
